在xamarin.forms中使用fontawesome（仅限iOS和Android）

Question

In xamarin forms using icon as png file is very painfull with all the sizeand native stuff that you need to do and verify. I decide to use font awesome but this way i can't put in toolbar item and neither in some button tha need a text too. Do anyone has a guide to use as fileimagesource because the fontimagesource is not compatible to use in place of fileimagesource. Or, anyone has a guide to do presseffect with some code that i can use in all my stuff?

This is not possible

<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
        <ToolbarItem>
            <ToolbarItem.Icon>
                <FontImageSource/>
            </ToolbarItem.Icon>
        </ToolbarItem>
    </ContentPage.ToolbarItems>

this is the way it works

<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
        <ToolbarItem>
            <ToolbarItem.Icon>
                <FileImageSource/>
            </ToolbarItem.Icon>
        </ToolbarItem>
 </ContentPage.ToolbarItems>

Other way was to put in label and use with layouts but both of them dosen't have the press effect

I expect to use the press effect without plugin, using a easy render maybe, or at least i want to use fonticon in toolber item like a normal image or text.

Obs: Text of toolbar item dosen't have fontfamily, if there's a way to do this with converter I will be grateful.

Answer 1

Now with Xamarin 4.0 new release, this it's possible. The follow code works just fine:

<Button  Text="Pesquisar">
    <Button.ImageSource>
         <FontImageSource Glyph="&#xf002;" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontIcon}"/>
    </Button.ImageSource>
</Button>

And this too:

<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
    <ToolbarItem>
        <ToolbarItem.IconImageSource>
             <FontImageSource Glyph="&#xf002;" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontIcon}"/>
        </ToolbarItem.IconImageSource>
    </ToolbarItem>
</ContentPage.ToolbarItems>
